Important Precautions for Trees in Kalamazoo

Kalamazoo summers are typically hot and humid, leading to potential stress for trees throughout the season. Here at American Arbor LLC, we want to do what’s best to help you with any tree service, and if it’s needed, take the correct steps to complete a proper tree removal.

Here’s two potential problems to keep in mind for your trees during this season:

Sufficient Watering

To ensure a healthy tree in a hot environment, the watering may need to come artificially from yourself, especially during long periods with no rain. Once a month should suffice, however, watering an entire tree is a big step up from your typical houseplant. That’s why it’s important to familiarize yourself with what American Arbor LLC recommends so your trees stay in tip-top shape throughout the warm season.

  1. After a long time without rain, wait until early morning or late evening to water, so the water doesn’t evaporate from the hotter temperatures.
  2. While watering, make sure to do it deeply and slowly while targeting the entire root zone, which is about how far out the canopy is for any given tree.
  3. Don’t overwater and make sure that the soil has adequate time to dry out before the next watering, if another is necessary.

Check for Dead Branches

Avoiding proper tree care can cost you a hefty bill in the long run. For instance, your trees could have dead or weakening branches that could fall on your property, vehicle, or a person. During the summer, the chances of a branch dying are greater due to the higher temperatures.

You don’t want to fall victim to the “Summer Branch Drop” phenomenon, which is why tree pruning in Kalamazoo is important for your outdoor space. That said, American Arbor LLC offers tree trimming services to keep you safe and your trees healthy. Reach out, and our qualified team will help you to take care of your residential or commercial tree service.
